Senior Year - December/January
By now, all the students should have received notices on their "Early Decision" application status. I am sure lots of joy for some and much disappointment for many. What is next? For those with good news, it is time to figure out how t0 lower the cost of attending. Unfortunately for most of them, not a whole lot of choices out there due to the nature of the "Binding Admission" option, unless for those lucky few gotten into a school with the actual "Need-Blind" admission policy. For those without any good news, it is time to seriously consider/reconsider expanding your search a bit, regardless what is being offered, deferred, wait-listed, or even denied/rejected. Some of great schools you have ignored may still be OK for you to submit your application, meaning, their deadline has not passed. "Honors College", affiliated with big public institutions, should be one of the those viable options.

We are starting to receive many requests on completing Mid-Year reports for mostly Common App schools. Here is the info regarding Mid-Year Reports, they will be sent out as soon as the new rank/GPA is available/calculated which may happen towards the end of this month or the beginning of the next, January/February.
ReplyDeleteWe are planning a college visit later in the spring to the northeast. What is the school's policy on that?
ReplyDeleteSorry for the delay. I saw this earlier today at work but I was too busy all day to double-check on the actual policy regarding college visit which I am not 100% certain. I promise that I will find out as soon as I can tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteHere is what I copied off our site.
ReplyDeleteHIGHER EDUCATION VISITS
A student shall be excused for up to two (2) days during the student’s junior year and up to two (2) days during the student’s senior year to visit an accredited institution of higher education. A student shall be required to submit verification of such visit(s) by providing a letter from the university/college verifying the date(s) and purpose of the visit in order to be counted present for attendance accounting purposes. If a university/college verification letter is not submitted within two (2) school days after the visit, the absence(s) will be considered unexcused. Students whose absences(s) is(are) excused for the purpose of a university/college visit shall not be penalized for such absence(s) and shall be counted as if he attended school for the purpose of calculating the average daily attendance.
